Former ISCF Champion Dustin Poirier Makes Headlines At
UFC 257 With Win Over Conor McGregor

Before he was getting praise for his TKO stoppage of Conor McGregor this past Saturday night, January 23rd, 2021 at UFC 257 (At the Etihad Arena, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) the ISCF (International Sport Combat Federation) knew Dustin Poirier when he made his Amateur Debut and headlines as an Amateur MMA fighter.

Dustin's win over McGregor at UFC 257 improves his MMA record to 27-6 and avenges his loss to McGregor back on September 27th, 2014 when McGregor defeated him by TKO at 1:46 of round 1 at UFC 178. Dustin's win this past weekend came at 2:32 of round 2 when referee Herb Dean stopped the bout due to strikes. VIDEO

Dustin fought his very first MMA bout on the ISCF Sanctioned "Holiday Havoc" event on December 8th, 2007 in Texarkana, Arkansas promoted by Battle Cage 360. In the bout Dustin defeated Wesley Branch by Referee Stoppage due to punches at 1:52 in Round 1.

It was five months later at the age of 19, Poirier won the 2008 ISCF MMA World Classic Amateur MMA Tournament on May 2nd, 3rd & 4th, 2008 at the US Cellular Center Arena in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA.

Competing in the Novice Lightweight bracket (145.1 to 155 lbs.) with 6 contenders, Poirier was scheduled for 2 bouts over the Tournament weekend.

In his first bout on Saturday Poirier of Carencro, Louisiana, USA (Trained by Harry Duhon Jr.) defeated Kody Blazek of Marion, Iowa, USA by tapout from triangle choke at 2:02 of round 1.

On Championship Sunday Poirier defeated Chad Buckley of Hobart, Indiana, USA by TKO due to strikes at :35 seconds of round 2. The victory earned him the 2008 ISCF MMA World Classic Amateur MMA Tournament Novice Lightweight title (Photo After Bout in 2008 at Right) and advanced his Amateur record to 3-1. At the same Tournament Dustin's Teammate Eric Scallan won the Middleweight Novice Title.

All of us here at the ISCF would like to Congratulate Dustin Poirier on a great performance and we wish him continued success in his MMA Career.

California State Athletic Commission Announces
FIGHT SPORT SHUTDOWN CONTINUES
Sacramento, California, USA



PRESS RELEASE FROM THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSION (CSAC)
ANNOUNCEMENT 10:35 AM - THURSDAY, May 7th, 2020

Based on guidance issued by California Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), to protect Californians against the possible spread of COVID-19, the California State Athletic Commission is canceling all events until further notice.
The Commission didn't take this decision lightly and understands the potential economic loss to promoters and the industry of combative sports.
We had to weigh the best interest of our fighters and the community around us.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued guidance that certain types of gatherings be postponed or canceled to protect public health and slow the rate of COVID-19 transmission. The recommendation applies to all nonessential professional, social, and community gatherings. Additional information about COVID-19 is available online from CDPH and from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

To further clarify the email sent earlier: On April 28, the Governor announced four "Resilience Roadmap Stages" that California would use to guide its gradual reopening process. Phase III of this plan will allow sporting events to begin without live audiences. The California State Athletic Commission is currently in the process of putting together a procedure for Promoters to use if they wish to hold "no audience" events in California, once the Governor moves the state into Phase III of his Resiliency Roadmap.
We will keep everyone updated as things move forward.

Thank you for your understanding.
Sophia Cornejo
Assistant Executive Officer, California State Athletic Commission
